My tip:Always keep in mind the client's needs and adapt accordingly. Don't get lost in the details! Sometimes testers tend to focus too much on small areas of the product and miss out on important issues that are easier to spot. Take a step back and take a wider look at your product to see if you've missed something more important.My experience with Crowdsourced TestingIt gives me the opportunity to select the project that I feel is right for me, with freedom to work at any hour that is convenient. Also, with a multitude of platforms to choose from, Crowdsourced Testing provides work diversity so that I do not end up testing the same type of project repeatedly.

Miguel Abrantes

Lisbon, Portugal

9 years as a software tester

My tip:Instead of thinking as someone who knows a lot about computers, think as someone who can barely use them, and act accordingly. If, under those conditions, you can still use the product you're testing, all's well; otherwise, start looking for potential problematic areas, break them into pieces, and write down where the problem is located.My experience with Crowdsourced TestingI like the idea of not knowing what we'll be testing next, and in what way we'll be able to help companies improve their products.
